Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script
Chapter 45: A Mystery Out of Control

***************

< FEW DAYS AGO, >

"Urgh…."

'Just what happened?'

Rheina groaned as she held her forehead to ease the pain she's feeling right now and also, trying to recall what happened to her as why she's knocked out.

'I remember that me and sir Eclipse finally got inside from the secret door of the Hall of Legacy and when we were trying to replace the [Dawn of Tears], I suddenly felt someone's presence and left sir Eclipse on where he stood and then upon arrival to a certain room where the presence she felt coming from there and after that….'

The assassin's eyes widened in shock as she remembered what happened inside that particular room and what's inside that she felt someone else's presence there.

'A glass chamber and…. Someone's inside of that chamber that I couldn't imagine! How come?!'

She wasn't that stupid when she recognize the person inside the glass chamber but what she didn't understand was…. Why and how?

Aryan Asterrix.

Who wouldn't recognize the biological mother of the Third Young Master of Chevalier household and was also known as the second unofficial wife of the current Marquis?

'However, the biggest question was…. Why is Lady Aryna's body inside the Hall of Legacy? Is this the reason why the Hall of Legacy was heavily guarded from the main door?'

At the same time, what she worries about is Eclipse's reaction if he sees this.

'But… that was too late then when I immediately felt his presence that close…'

At that time, Rheina didn't want for Eclipse to see what she saw but the assassin knew that the young man deserved to know the truth about this matter because it involves his mother.

She also remembered how Eclipse's stoic expression changed into confusion, anger or whatever negative emotion that he had shown when he finally entered the room and Rheina knew better than to talk at that time.

'Who wouldn't be devastated when the one person you truly cherished in your life would end up in that place as if it became an accessory or some sort of experiment subject that needs to hide from everyone else?'

Does the Marquis involve with this?

Or that sick Marchioness had done this?

Rheina shivers as she recalls the Marchioness' reputation from before and after it was exposed to the public because of what she had done to Eclipse.

Or more likely, fall into the trap and let herself be exposed like that.

'Geez! That's so stupid of her! Not only that, why did she even go at Sir Eclipse's room at the middle of the night?'

But as she keeps on recalling what happened for her to be knocked off like that.

'Ah! That's right! Something happened to that glass chamber and all of the sudden, a sudden light appears, and I took cover at Sir Eclipse's place as I prepared myself for the incoming attack!'

After that, she became dizzy as she tried to protect Eclipse from that unknown light but afterwards, everything went blank….

"Are you awake?"

"!!!"

Rheina got startled by the sudden voice from her side and she looked and saw Eclipse seating while drinking some coffee by the servant at his side.

"A-ahm…. S-sir…. I mean, Third Young Master, w-what happened? Where am I?"

Now that she took a closer look at the room where they were right now, she didn't quite remember this kind of room in the Chevalier household when she serves as a servant in disguise there.

"How are you feeling? Anything uncomfortable?"

Rheina snapped from her thoughts and looked at the young boy on her side but the said young boy didn't even looked at Rheina while he speaks and only looking at those papers that he's reading.

She cleared her throat and composed herself; "I'm fine, Third Young Master. Thank you for worrying about me."

Rheina was ordered before that if they were in public, she should address her as the Third Young Master and not Sir Eclipse like how she usually addressed the young boy.

Well, it make sense since even though Sir Eclipse didn't want to be called by that title but in the eyes of the public, he is still the Third Young Master from Marquis Chevalier household.

"Is there anything else you need, Third Young Master?"

Rheina observed the maid who served the food to Sir Eclipse, and she noticed something about her, but she refrained from taking any unnecessary actions.

"No need. You may go for now."

Rheina could only watched on the sideline while Eclipse was doing his part and observed how the young man paused his sentence for a while before he continued.

"Also, tell your master that I'll be meeting with him, together with my companion here since she already has awakened."

'Just who we are going to meet?'

Rheina thought as she observe the maid who serve the young boy and she frowns.

'She's no ordinary.'

The maid bowed down; "As you wish, Third Young Master."

After that, the maid left them alone, but Rheina's sharp instinct couldn't feel that easily.

"You notice it, right?"

Rheina snapped once more and looked at Sir Eclipse who had just spoken with her.

"Who is she and where are we anyway? This isn't the Marquis Chevalier household."

Eclipse placed down the cup he's drinking and looked at Rheina as he smirks; "As expected of our Lotus Killer of Arcanum De Fleur. Even though you had knocked off yourself but still…. An assassin's instincts are sharper than ever."

'Just what is this brat talking right now?!'

She didn't want to argue that much because even though she didn't get into a fierce battle for her, she feels like she's been in a decade of battlefield because of how her body still arched.

"We are not at Marquis Chevalier household in a meantime but don't worry, no one would take a notice of us missing there."

Rheina frowns; "What do you mean that no one would take a notice of us there, missing?"

The assassin saw the smirk on the young boy's lips and spoke.

"Well, someone volunteered to cover up our tracks. Isn't that great?"

Rheina tilted her head sideways because of confusion.

"Who?"

Eclipse just shrugged off his shoulder and didn't answer Rheina's question as he stood up from his seat and looked back at her.

"Get ready. That old man hates waiting."
